Walking from the Boulevard into the new square by the south transept of the Cathedral. The Deanery and Cathedral tower are in the distance; the refectory is in the middle ground with the gallery (linking Clergy Court to the Cathedral) above.

Camlin Lonsdale Landscape Architects in Llangadfan held a midsummer barbecue this weekend for friends, clients and collaborators. The studio that we designed for Robert Camlin, and which he built, is weathering beautifully and merging with the edge of the farmyard site. Trees have grown and enveloped the building and filter the daylight into the interior. Photoset.

Concept sketches for Robert Camlin’s Studio.

A Studio for Camlin Lonsdale Landscape Architects. Constructed in a farmyard in Llangadfan, Powys out of locally-sourced timber. The illustrations show (clockwise from top left): the view from the upper window; studio from the field; lower studio with view of the farmyard; main elevation from the farmyard.

The drawing shows an aerial view of the overall form of the proposed development. To the right of the drawing are the existing BT building and Postal Order pub. To the left is the Cathedral. The proposed new buildings enclose three new outdoor spaces to the south of the Cathedral.

Our scheme for the precinct of Blackburn Cathedral has been submitted for planning approval. This drawing shows the east elevation (bus station side) of the new apartment building and its relationship to the Cathedral.
